I grew up with the internet and I turned up jjuuuuusstt fine
I know you're being facetious but same and actually.
I'm not totally fine but I'm not not fine either, and I would say it's kind of because the internet but it's also not because the internet.
Either way, mom and dad would have had no chance of stopping me unless they turned the house into 1984 in 1996, which would have been way worse than anything the internet did to me (except for all the shit we're living through of course !)
Can't tell if serious. I am older than the internet. I'm not sure what that has to do with the issues of governmental surveillance under the guise of 'for the chirren.'
